I hate to admit the following, but I feel I must: I probably only experienced 70-80% of this museum. I was barely able to listen to the docent. And my pictures are terrible at best.

As I always do on Connecticut Open House days, I try to get to a few rarely open museums. Earlier in the morning, I made it up to the East Granby Historical Society Museum by myself. Then I went home, collected the family, and drove out to Manchester to … [Read more...]

I’ll be honest up front: The most interesting thing about this museum was not the museum at all, but learning that a trail connects the museum/town complex with the Metacomet Trail. The museum sits in the rather nice-looking … [Read more...]

While there is always a danger in using pop culture references in my titles, as they are fleeting things, I just couldn't resist this one. Don't like it? How about this...
You have to use the restroom really badly, so you're Russian. … [Read more...]

Note: This museum is now closed as Neil has sadly passed away. RIP, buddy.
Every now and then this website affords me entry into places that are beyond description. I get to meet people who might fly under most people’s radars. It’s not that … [Read more...]
